Meester Shared the Secret to Her Marriage
The pair have been married since February 2014 and share two children.
Earlier this year, Meester opened up about what has helped her and Brody maintain their relationship over the years. In a January interview with People, the actress admitted that there isn't one simple solution.
“It's so funny, because the other night somebody asked me that, and I was like, 'I wish I had the answer,' [but] I think just liking each other, and getting along is a big part of it,” Meester explained.
"It is sort of at a base level what it's about. Just being like, 'I really like this person,'" she added.
For Meester, a strong marriage also means accepting that neither partner is perfect and being willing to grow together.
"I think being with another person and knowing that they're going to be imperfect and challenge you, and that you are far from perfect, is [important]," she explained, adding that it is also key "to always be open and willing to work on yourself."
Brody Praised Meester's Acting Skills
Adam Brody has praised Leighton Meester's ability to balance comedy with emotionally deep performances.
Brody has also shared his admiration for his wife's abilities as an actress. In a previous interview, he spoke about the qualities that continue to impress him about Meester's performances.
“I think she surprises me with how funny she is, and then, at the same time, can go as deep as anyone,” he remarked.
